    2016 ES LA Radio to 2021 Mirage Radio

    Hi,

    Would anybody be able to explain the best way to install this radio into my 2016 ES LA Mirage. Part Number: 8740A115
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/203884044543

    I currently have the following stock standard radio: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15439398...hoCMTMQAvD_BwE

    Part Number: 8701A476

    THIS EBAY POSTING IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE EXACT RADIO

    I have been told that it is plug and play, but there seems to be extra "ports" on the 2021 version to plug into, would anyone be able to explain this?

    Thank you,

    Assuming this is just a standard double din radio. im unsure if the wiring is the same. if not then one of the possible adapters is called "Metra 70-7005 Radio Wiring Harness for 07 Mitsubishi" you will also probably need: "Metra 95-7016GHG Double DIN Dash Kit for Select 2014 and Mitsubishi Mirage Vehicles (Black)" which is a frame that goes around the radio for

    Mine is a 2017 not a 2016 but we both have the same base radio. Mine was plug and play no adapter needed.

    Hi, do you have a picture of the back of your model at all? it's just that the ports look so different here... do note that I have an Australian model of the car, i'm trying to wrap my head around it.

    thank you! a picture of your original radio would be great, maybe even the one you installed (2021 version) if it's not too much trouble.

    Here’s a 2015 radio(Canada spec) if that helps at all. If not it’s here for future reference. Attachment 23487Attachment 23488Attachment 23489Attachment 23490

    I think a problem might be that the 2016 ES LA (Aus Version) never had an option to install a screen from factory, so the wiring harnesses in the car may not be there to connect to the unit as you have with the 2021 radio. I'd have to take the head unit out and check.
